Process:
1. Screening with HR
2. Whiteboard challenge (90-minute interview with the design lead and a technical lead)
3. Founders interview
I was rejected after the whiteboard round, but didn’t get a specific reason. I wish they had explained their decision more clearly.
Whiteboard challenge:
- Format: 40-minute ideation workshop where I acted as the UX designer, preparing and leading a session for the team.
- Task: Design a workshop to generate feature ideas for solving the user onboarding problem. The focus was on ideation, not wireframes or detailed design.
- Proposed Structure:
— 15 minutes: Solo preparation
— 25 minutes: Facilitated workshop with the Design Lead and Tech Lead, who role-played as different stakeholders
